The LAST RUSH JOB done for YOU.

It could be a car repair, or a paint job. Yes, in xieann style there is of course a poll!
I submitted a thesis myself late to my course tutor in full time third level..

I can't remember the last rush job done for me. But I remember the first, you always remember the first. It was back in 1999, late January. I know this because Bridget's day was a few days away, and I had no cross made. Back then, everybody had a cross for Bridget's day - but few knew how to make them, and I was no exception.

There was a man down the road used to make them, John. John made a fine cross, and they'd come from miles around to watch him do it. Cross John we called him.

Anyway, I hadn't a cross kind - and I wouldn't dare make it myself, so off to John's I set. John lived about 2 miles down the road, but to a young lad - that was nothing in those days, and I was at John's in no time at all. I remember this as if it was yesterday. I said John, Bridget's day is a few days away, and I don't have a cross - can you help? He said he would - but he had not one rush left. Disappointed, and confused - I set off back up the road, John's words, ringing in my ear. I remember thinking, Jesus - if there was only some rush round these parts, everything would be OK, everything would be grand.

Well.

Halfway home, almost at my wits end - what did I come across, but a big bunch of rush lying in the middle of the road. I don't know how they got there, nor who owned them - but I wasn't going asking questions! I picked up the rush and ran back down to John's as fast as I could!

I burst in the door and shouted John! John! John! I have rush for you, can you make me a cross now!? Can you make me a cross now!?

John turned to me and he said, and I'll never forget this - he said, of course I will boy - sit down there now, and I'll make you this cross. I sat there, in awe, watching him work - that man could weave, he could weave as good as the best of them, and weave he did - for one hour straight. And the cross, well - it was the finest cross I'd ever had made, I still have it to this day.

That was a good rush job. There's been many done for me since - crosses, bags... and believe it or not – a mat ...though that's a story for a different day. Nothing ever came close to that cross though, that was a good job. It wasn't the last one now, but is was the best one.

Right you are John.
